There are some taboos for people with gastric acid. Can people with gastric acid drink yogurt?

Gastric acid, as the name suggests, is an acidic fluid secreted by the human body. The yogurt we drink in daily life is also acidic. Therefore, when gastric acid is secreted too much, it is best to drink less yogurt, otherwise the amount of acidic fluid in the stomach will increase, causing physical discomfort. So, what causes excessive gastric acid secretion?

The main causes of excessive gastric acid are as follows:

(1) The reactivity of parietal cells increases or the total number increases. Even if the total number of parietal cells is normal, the mucosa can be damaged due to high gastric acid secretion.

(2) When the function of the duodenal mucosa to release certain hormones is reduced, it can also lead to increased secretion of gastric acid and gastrin.

(3) Physical factors related to genetics.

(4) The gastric mucosal wall cells are stimulated and excited for a long time, such as:

① The parasympathetic nervous system is excited for a long time and continuously produces acetylcholine.

② Excessive secretion of gastrin by gastrin cells (G cells), such as a delayed inhibitory reaction of G cells to H+ (hydrogen ions); increased gastrin due to contact of the gastric sinus mucosa with protein decomposition products and swelling of the gastric sinus.

Dietary treatment for excessive stomach acid:

* Do not eat frozen or very hot food or drinks. The temperature of drinks should be moderate. Tea, water and soup should not be too hot.

* Do not eat too much spicy, sour, or salty food. Eat light food as strong food will stimulate gastric acid secretion.

* Eat less irritating foods, such as garlic, onions, chocolate, citrus fruits, mint, tomatoes, etc.
